i couldnt get a close enough camera shot; but I didnt know how meticulous the cabling process requires; now i know when i get brake adjustments at whatever bike shops ive been to, the adjustment is solid for on avg two days..they are not putting in the precision you are. I have to learn to do it myself. thnx..
If you aren't grinding the ends of the housing flat & perpendicular, then you aren't doing it right. It's an entire additional step, but worth it. Cutting housing, especially wound brake housing ends up with an angled end. And worse: oftentimes the wire will fold over on itself, so you have to really pay attention to removing that AND grinding. When the ends aren't flat & perpendicular, that's when you get flex in the system, leading to squishy braking and questionable index shifting.
You should do a review of those shimano cable cutters.there is no YouTube review of those
Put the camera closer so we can see what you're doing
Why plastic ferrule caps? It is the easiest I can find to buy on Amazon, but my Google searches say to buy metal, as they have less squish and are stiffer so the tension you set on the derailleur stays steady.
Wanker.
No offense, but as opposed to wasting a bit of my time there at the end of the video (it was actually even longer since I found myself having to replay that last part a couple times to figure out what the hell I was watching seeings how the informative portion just ended abruptly) You could have taken a moment to go over using that crimping tool for those of us who haven't used one before, which I'm going to go out on a limb in assuming that refers to the majority of us watching this video to begin with yeah?I'm not trying to be a cynic, it's just that was the whole reason I'd clicked this vid to begin with & you failed to even cover it...
I used this method for pushing the end-cap (Jagwire) on the housing (Jagwire) and... there are still 5mm of gap inside. Really, make a test and see for yourself. Your method is VERY VERY WRONG.
A premium ferrule/cable/housing assembly, as mentioned by Simon (below) goes like this:Insert Cable into housing pulling out sufficient excess to work with.Place hard plastic seal ring seating sleeve onto cable. It fits around the cableand into the ferrule. So it is a very small part.Next, work the rubber dust & water seal ring (even smaller) onto cable.Insert prepared cable into ferrule.The compression of the rubber ring by the pressure of the housing keeps everything nice and dry.
OK but not remotely close to a guide to ferrule fitting, eg. did you know that there are ferrules that have in-built washers to exclude water & dust?
Is it good? Or throw them afterwards?
Bike looks awsome!
That's a total of how many meters the housing takes
Do you have a similar video for gear housing and cabling? I see in this video the gear cabling is also complete. I need one that shows the process for the gear cabling and housing
Is there a shifter cable and housing installation video ?
Notice he's using what's known as strapping tape to tape the housing against the bars. Ordinary tape like electrical tape will stretch. When you apply the brakes, the cable wants to straighten out with great force. This will in turn make the housing want to straighten out, especially at the tight curve where the flat part of the bars curves forward. Stretchy tape will stretch here and the housing can move away from the bars.Strapping tape is a lot like a flat piece of shift housing with strands of fiber running length wise, preventing it from stretching.
I knew how to replace my cable but had no idea how to ask for the mushroom end, as opposed to the circular end, so, this video was still a big help. Thank you!
i know this is stupid but still....could you make a video on converting a mtb flat bar to drop bar? please. looking forward to it :D
You are a great teacher Sir!
what about those link housing system by jagwire? are they any good?
Thank you for this concise tutorial . Valuable to all cyclists!
very nice :)
The shit is complex.
Thnk q for helping full details
Am I the only one looking at this thinking his front and back levers are being wired the wrong way round?
Great video as always Calvin! Should you use a cable end cap on the end that inserts into the brake lever body? 10:50
Excellent and thanks a lot. So many videos out there on brake cables but this is the most simplest yet comprehensive.
mr calvin you are a hero
This guy is amazing. Thank you very much!!
Question: How would you determine the length of the cable housing on mechanical disc brakes? Do you just use the old housing as a template? Thanks.
Is it possible to do this on a mountain bike linear pull to be exact?
What an awesome explanation and demonstration. Thank you
Without an owner's manual, how can I determine what type of cable my bike needs, i.e., millimeter thickness, etc.? Also, is it normal to install the nipples or do most people buy them already installed? Thanks!
niice...............very informative thanks mahn
